Hi, I'm Ihab.
Speaker, content creator and advocate
I'm almost blind and advocate for minority rights. Through videos, stories and talks, I share my experiences, question assumptions and explore how we can improve accessibility. I want to help build a society where everyone can take part.

What matters to me
Accessibility and equity
Everyone should be able to take part in education, work and public life. That means equal access to information, spaces and opportunities.
Everyday experiences
People who encounter barriers know where change is needed. Their experiences should be heard and help shape decisions.
Lasting change
An invitation to take part means little if barriers remain. I want to help change the rules, habits and structures that exclude people.
Vlogs and daily life
My vlogs share everyday life: what goes well, the challenges I face and the causes I care about.

Support my work
Paid speaking engagements provide part of my income. I also give talks for free at charity events and community initiatives. My articles, videos and stories are freely available so everyone can learn from them. Maintaining a website, buying equipment and creating content still take time and money. If you'd like to help make this work possible, your support is welcome.
